Since its foundation in 1931 as Hemel Hempstead Grammar, the school has received local and national recognition for all-round excellence. We became comprehensive in 1970 and combine traditional strengths with a modern curriculum to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. Our vision is, forging future leaders who can 'be, not seem to be' because they are built on a foundation of Respect, Relationships, Responsibility, Reflection and Resilience and have high aspirations. Esse Quam Videri.
